You read so many books to know it all,

yet fail to ever read your heart at all.

You rush to holy shrines to play a part,

Would you dare enter the shrine of your heart?

You are quick to attack The Evil One,

yet pride is a battle you have not won.

You grab for a star you can control,

yet fail to grasp the light in your soul.

Let the race end, my friend.
